INTRODUCING RALLY78
You may know Ellen Stubbs or Jan Barrett from the courts! Playing over 15 years of USTA tennis, they love the sport and set out to build a mobile app to help tennis up it's tech game. "We wanted to create an easy, user-friendly mobile experience for players to meet, chat, and organize their own tennis network. Players can build groups to help manage their tennis locally, or use the find-a-partner feature to meet new people as they travel around the country. We're hoping our platform will help add more tennis to everyone's life and provide a great experience while doing it," said Stubbs.

ADULT 40 & OVER FORMAT
The USTA Kentucky Adult League Committee (ALC) is recommending that Local Leagues utilize the format of 1 Singles court and 4 Doubles courts for all levels except the 4.5 NTRP Level of play. Local Leagues that decide to utilize this format for the 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 levels will need to communicate to their players the following stipulation. If a team advances out of local play they will need to play the format of 2 singles and 3 doubles.
Note: National regulations allow three 5.0 players to join a 40 & Over 4.5 team, thus the ALC felt it important to keep the 2 singles courts in play at this level.
